Caroline Stenger-Philippe: 1985 Strasbourgh MD (?) thesis

Stenger-Philippe, Caroline (1985). [See below] (MD?). University of Strasbourgh.

For Hugh Evelyn-White: I have not found the thesis cited in full, but it is often referenced as the source of the (almost certainly false) claim that E-W wrote "I have succumbed to a curse" in his own blood before his death. First references to it are news articles from July 1985 (e.g. LA Times here; I don't have a title, unfortunately, but it's probably something to do with fungi and the Egyptian pyramids, possibly mentioning Aspergillus flavus. Generally given as a doctoral thesis from the Strasbourg school of Medicine. Any reference to Evelyn-White from the thesis gratefully received.

it is cited as "Stenger Philippe AM: Tutankhamon cursed with moulds?; graduate thesis. Tempo Medico 1986:16:12." in this paper. And here is a paragraph about this thesis. Artem.G (talk) 08:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you: I don't suppose you have access to the first one and could send a PDF? I don't think TWL has it. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 07:05, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

emailed. Artem.G (talk) 09:13, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thanks. Not getting very much from chasing up that citation, unfortunately, but perhaps something will turn up. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 10:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruce1ee: Not resolved, unfortunately: Artem has sent an interesting and related article, but neither of us has yet found what was requested. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 11:05, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. —Bruce1ee ^talk 11:06, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rabbinical Mathematics and Astronomy

Feldman, W. M. (1978). Rabbinical mathematics and astronomy (3d corr. ed.). New York: Hermon Press. ISBN 9780872030268.

For Hebrew calendar. I understand there are some passages relevant to the Accuracy section, and in particular the author proposes a 334-year cycle around pages 207-208, but I can only see snippets from Google Books, so I'd like copies of pages 207-208 along with any relevant surrounding sections.

@Arcorann:

Doing... Please send me an email, I'll attach the requested pages to the reply tomorrow or the day after. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 05:33, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. {{resolved}} Arcorann (talk) 09:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Arcorann: Given the author's lack of expertise, I would be cautious about the reliability of this book. A lot of nonsense has been written about this topic. It is also way out of date. Zero^talk 13:14, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. I'm still interested in the section, if only because it was mentioned in one of the other sources on the page. Arcorann (talk) 03:34, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For The True Record (currently at User:Crisco 1492/The True Record)

Thanks, — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris Woodrich: The first one is available at Grove Art Online in the Wikipedia Library. You should have access to it. If not, I can send it to you. —Bruce1ee ^talk 22:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bruce1ee. Your link worked; for some reason, I'm only getting six results for Zhenxiang huabao, and none of them seem to be directly related to the magazine. (But it's good to have this - it confirms a lot of addresses, and provides a better timeline than I've gotten). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:04, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco 1492: Doing... the second one | Please send me a wikimail to provide you with the chapter. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 07:43, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
